Abstract
This chapter examines conversation analysis (CA) as a research approach in language policy and planning studies. It overviews changes in the theorization of language policy that have opened spaces for conversation analytic work in the field. In particular, it emphasizes the notion of “practiced language policy” and the importance of tacit norms in shaping language choice. It then provides an overview of how CA can be applied to interactional data to identify the tacit language policies that shape how languages are used in interaction. It then reviews some studies that have used CA as an analytic method to investigate language policies in educational, family, online, workplace, and healthcare settings.
